I'm with you as a fellow gymnastics fan since the Mag 7, and I have been rambling about Simone to anyone who will listen! Not only is she inventing new ways to do gymnastics at a rate the scoring can't even keep up with, she's made the sport safer and more joyful for all of the athletes. She's proven you can be the best there is at the sport AND take care of yourself. It's such a thrill to witness!!

Other things I'm loving: tru fru brand chocolate covered frozen fruit, jogging the slowest beginner laps on the track in my neighborhood (thanks to binging Nikki Hiltz tiktoks)

Yes to all of what you shared! I’m gonna be talking about things more along those lines re: safety and rest in the sport in the new moon newsletter!

Three things bringing me joy lately.

Popsicles - normally I’m a chocolate girl but there is nothing like a really good fruity popsicle on a hot day.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine - I started watching for Andre Braugher and his deadpan humor. The jokes make me laugh out loud. I need this so much this summer.

Ripping old blue jeans into fabric - I’m finishing a really big project and when I need to keep my hands moving but my brain to quiet, this is it. My fall project is to make a denim backpack with all these lovely beat up colorful yardage.

I love B99! And that is a mood re: popsicles. They hit different in a heat wave.

Oooh I MAY have to get myself one of those dresses!! I gave up on pants without elastic waists years ago and it was one of my best decisions ever 😂 I'm so glad you've found things to love during your convelescence, through the pain and exhaustion and everything 💜 I hope your recovery continues to go smoothly!

Things I've been loving lately: watching my pothos plants on the balcony explode with summer growth as they love the heat, fresh juice and iced tea, and nature documentaries on the PBS app ✨

I have a similar dress, complete with the strange breast pocket and two slits (which I am coincidentally wearing right now lol). I don't wear dresses very often anymore, but this one has my heart because it's so cozy!

I am also loving homemade hummus, spending a few minutes in bed each morning soaking up the comfort of my bedsheets, and the My Lady Jane show on Amazon :)
